Violence is a much more prevalent part of everyday life today than we tend to think. Whether physical, sexual or psychological, violence against children and young people takes many forms. In such situations, young victims often don’t know who to turn to or who will protect them from further assault in the future. It was for this reason that the Eastern Switzerland Children’s Hospital set up the Kinderschutzzentrum (KSZ) child protection centre 20 years ago.
The child protection centre has a vision of a world in which children and young people can develop protected from violence and abuse. The child protection centre shares this vision with all those affected and offers them comprehensive and personal help.
